Empty sac, how can I preserve it?

Is there anything that a women does wrong in her pregnancy that causes the embryo not to grow? I started spotting at 10 weeks of pregnancy and was hopeful everything was going to be fine with the baby since many women bleed during pregnancy but 5 days later the spotting turned into light bleeding. I didn't have any pain but went to ER to see what was happening as I was so concerned and afraid to loose my baby. But I knew that nothing could be done to save the pregnancy in the first trimester if anything is wrong with the baby. I wanted to hold on to see if the bleeding stopped. But at this point I had to know as I started to sense the worse. To my surprise in ER they found a sac with a very tiny mass inside, the embryo did not grow. Two days ago at 11 1/2 weeksafter waking up in the morning I got up and felt something coming out from my vagina.  I passed the sac which I have at home. I don't want to flush it down the toilet. I don't know where to put it. My tiny tiny baby is inside. Should I put in alcohol? How can I preserve it?

Some people I have heard bury it in the backyard and plant something on top of it so that they can always remember where it is and how much that baby meant to them.

When I passed a sac with my tiny tiny baby I buried it in our backyard near the flowers. It gave me some solice knowing it was there.
